Reporter: "You're thinking of
Pillsbury. I'm referring to the political comic strip, Doonesbury."

Bush: "Why would I have a comment on a
comic strip?"

Reporter: "Well sir, a lot of people
have been saying....."

Bush (interrupting): "A lot? I have
spoken to a lot of people already today and not heard anything about this
comic strip. Perhaps you should re-phrase the question."

Reporter: "Sir, a few people....."

Bush (interrupting again): "A few?
Come on, how many?"

Reporter: "Three."

Bush: "Well, unless you mean the Holy
Trinity, that is not a very significant number. Tell me, who draws this
comic strip?"

Reporter: "Gary Trudeau."

Bush: "Frenchman, huh?"

Reporter: "No sir, he is an American."

Bush (rolling his eyes): "Alright.
Let's see if I have this correct. You have used this valuable opportunity
to ask the President of the United States a question about matters
affecting our nation to, instead, pose a question about a comic strip
drawn by a Frenchified American because three insignificant people put a
buzz in your Stetson? I suggest you may want to dust off your résumé upon
returning to your office."
